AFAICS, Debian itself is not Unicode 4.1.0 compliant yet (the unstable version 
of console-data has [1] /usr/share/unidata/UnicodeData-4.0.1d1b.txt). The 
change is the addition of one (moderately rare) code point, but the font 
editor we use (fontforge) doesn't know about it yet (I haven't checked the 
CVS version recently though). 

In any case, this is a minor problem (that will get solved eventually), and 
more importantly, completely orthogonal to the issue at hand.
